This school is amazing. The ownership, procedures, maintenance, and overall running of the school…read moreare absolutely wonderful. As someone with an advanced degree in Education, I am hypercritical of schools and curriculum, I examine curriculum and teaching effectiveness all day in my career. The school is definitely Montessori enough, Montessori schools provide students with freedom within limits, and maybe that seems unruly to someone who has no idea what Montessori even is. The school is better priced that 7 of the schools I looked at in the area, only Primrose was more expensive. The school has a few entrances, all of which are locked by key and only a few members of the school have the keys. It is extremely safe. The owners of this school put me at ease. The school itself is immaculate and the outside areas are pristine. The communication is incredible, I can always follow up if I have a question or concern and get immediate feedback and help. My daughter goes in and comes out happy every single day. She has bloomed into a wonderful little human and at each checkup her doctor is amazed at how much she knows and does for under 3. I give full credit to the teachers and owner of the school for that. The teachers are a mix of backgrounds, some speak English, some speak Spanish, some might even speak more languages- I don't really know. I absolutely love the diversity and inclusion of the school and I couldn't be happier. My daughter did go to a different school and it had many of the same aspects but my daughter wasn't happy. The owners and teachers of this school are incredible and it shows in the kids that go there.

Had a teacher taking kids into the bathroom to spank their them and would leave them in the room…read moreuntil they finished crying, had multiple instances where dropping my child off becomes some back and forth with the office people while my kid is basically running around the room unattended due to their lack of competent people able to work in their facilities. Never had a day where my kid was good today always had something to say about behavior and disciplinaries that should be followed at home, yet upon return home I notice none of the feedback the teachers give me or other parents. most staff will watch your kids outside of the building for cheaper as well so what's the point of the facility when I have an employee come cut my grapes for my son at home yet the facility can't cut grapes, provide the safety for my child let alone look after them. I am typing this up as a frustrated parent in concern that there needs to be entire overhaul of their curriculums, as well as replacing majority of the staff with people capable and sensible of not only working with our children but also able to work cohesively as a team and make proactive contributions to the lives of our children by inspiring and instructing them, Not being upset at the parents for not providing the necessities that should have already been provided.

My experience with Beach Park was formed as a teacher AND parent. I remember the day I met head of…read moreschool, Kim Delaney. I was for a scheduled interview that was set up over the phone as I was covering my grounds right before summer end (2024) to place both my girls at the same program since I had one VPK ready and an incoming 1st grader that I was trying to keep close. I loved the fact the school was Montessori as I am an early childhood educator with KinderCare lead teaching background and experience across Bronx NY and Tampa FL. I've worked in professional environments since I was 18 years old. My intentions were to get the girls inside a private program under the Step Up scholarship award that I discussed with Kim to make sure her school accepted. To my surprise not only did she say they accepted that scholarship but ALSO invited me to interview for a position as the co teacher to the primary class. I NEVER APPLIED FOR THIS POSTION, IT WAS OFFERED. A month later, I was terminated without notice or an explanation, let alone write up or staff meeting that was disrespectfully PROMISED to me the following Monday after being yelled at by BOTH lead teacher of primary, Ms. JANET and KIM Delaney because I could not make a (well known disruptive) child stop yelling during nap time. The unspeakable treatment I witnessed (even my daughter receive from her 2 Lower Elem teachers, Mr. G and Ms. Lauren) received in the short amount of time I was there by some of the staff members was ridiculous, unnecessary and uncalled. I grew up middle class in an area where I was already used to being the only person color so being the only person of color in staff was not a problem, as many of our families were integrated. I actually LOVED the community, the children. The problem was the ADULTS in the matter. A lot ego and insecurities for me to manage as I was often antagonized by Ms Janet, lied on by Ms Jennifer when she accused me of mentioning "white privilege" during a conversation she couldn't even remember but "claim" I said it multiple times. I literally watch Ms. Janet catch attitudes if the children were "too interested in me", she would label it attachment to the point she actually had parent conference with a child's parent about me, WITHOUT me being present to actually present the facts. I watch Ms Lauren yell at my child for accidentally backing into another child's space. . Another day, watched her take my child's lunch one day from not her sandwich first. Lauren's response was, "we are a sandwich eating class", however when I spoke to another volunteer parent who's son was in my class, she gave me an honest observation of her son who is also in the same class and said she never had that experience. I believe my family was singled out the day they began to label me a problem. Mr G. rudely told me "I never met a child that can read but can't write to my face referring to my child whom I vulnerably shared needed writing assistance. The teachers gossip about everything but asked me to not share my opinions with other parents, as I was also a parent, which is completely hypocritical. I thought about unemployment, but God is too good to me, I was offered another opportunity as usual because I have a good heart and that's why I never belonged there. My wishes to anyone who chooses to be a parent/teacher of different background decent but my prediction is, they will not be hiring any more confident black educators, but they will unapologetically accept tuition from them. Mixed integrated families should think twice about making this school your child's second home. The heart of child is just as important as the education. Even after I left in peace, Kim made sure to terminate my children from her school, leaving them school-less for almost 2 months out pure spite because she no longer wanted to wait for the scholarship she told me to not worry about from day one. Imagine a 4 and 7 year old being turned away with a now terminated, single parent looking for work. By the end of that month, my daughter's scholarship was approved for full tuition and I placed her inside a real Montessori program up the street from my home, called Harmon Prep after waiting another month to process her into a new school, as I was terminated the day my sister took her life, September 7, 2024. My only regret is that I never got a chance to say goodbye to lovely and wonderful group of children inside the primary class who dearly loved me and I still love them. I know this because I had students telling me this the 2nd week of school! It's sad star quality teachers are leaving the school system because of toxic gate keepers inside the education system. I had a student ask me one day, what makes my skin brown, such an APPROPRIATE question for their age to ask, which let me know the children at that school never will get to experience an authentic diverse culture inside that community.

Look into the staff carefully if you are thinking about sending your child to this school. The…read moreteacher we believed to be Montessori trained departed the school in December. Parents were initially told she was on vacation when she had actually resigned. This information came only after the director was pressed for information. To date there is not a Montessori trained teacher on staff. The director (owner?) claims credentials and occasionally visits classrooms but continues to collect Montessori tuition rates while children are overseen by run-of-the-mill day care workers. If you want your child to have the advantage of the true Montessori experience, look elsewhere.

My child attended KinderCare for 17 months. On 5/22/26, an incident occurred that ultimately led to…read moremy decision to withdraw my child from KinderCare. On the morning of May 22, my husband, and I changed our toddler's diaper before drop-off. At that time, his skin was completely clear with no diaper rash or irritation. KinderCare documents his last diaper change that day occurred at 3:15 p.m. He remained at the facility until approximately 6:15 p.m. that evening. Upon pickup, we returned home (3 minutes away) and changed his diaper, as we routinely do after pickup regardless of recent diaper changes. At that time, we observed the diaper change time written on his diaper as 3:15 p.m., consistent with KinderCare's practice of writing diaper change times directly on diapers with permanent marker. We observed blood in his diaper area; that his skin was no longer clear, unlike at the time of drop-off that day. The rapid development of this condition raised immediate concerns regarding the care he received while at KinderCare. The resulting diaper rash that progressed to raw, bleeding skin lasted 8 to 10 days. Staff informed me that the practice of writing diaper change times on diapers was implemented to ensure accountability and address prior concerns regarding diaper changing. This policy was introduced during the tenure of the current director, who is the third director I have observed during my child's enrollment. My concerns were not limited to a single incident. My husband and I sent separate messages on the app regarding concerns. Neither message received acknowledgment or response. Then, I received an email stating that I had not provided sufficient notice and would be billed accordingly. At that time, my access to the daycare app had also been disabled, preventing further communication or review of account messages through the platform. I am requesting that KinderCare: Waive any tuition, withdrawal fees, or additional charges related to my immediate withdrawal following these care concerns. Release my child's photographs immediately upon arrival or confirm they will not be withheld. Review the circumstances surrounding my child's care, including the diaper rash incident. Provide a written response addressing the concerns raised in this complaint. My primary concern is not solely the billing dispute, but whether the facility is providing an appropriate standard of care, maintaining adequate staffing, and responding appropriately when serious concerns are raised by parents regarding a child's health and well-being. I will be escalating this continuously through all available external resources. For documentation and legal purposes, please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and provide a written response addressing the concerns raised. If this matter is being referred to another department or investigator, please provide that information in writing as well. As of now, no one has responded to my multiple attempts to resolve this matter. KinderCare center is 301139. I look forward to your written response.
